[Bedouin Soundclash - Gyasi Went Home lyrics]
You come from anywhere
You come from country where
Water falls free to the sea
I heard the English said
You got the best of it
When Raleigh washed up and found
Solid gold in his hands
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling
Rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But, you know…he's only breaking the law
There was a hill coolie
And a transatlantic slave
There came a day when they broke
Away free of their chains
Now in country tempers run
Hot like Caribbean sun
And the water flows, Gyasi when he went home
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling
Rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But, you know…he's only breaking the law
There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling
Rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But, you know…he's only breaking the law
